Medtronic Vascular recalls specific SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheters due to potential exposure of stainless steel wires. Affected units have a unique reference code and are used in cardiovascular procedures.
There is a potential for extensive loss of primary segment material exposing underlying stainless-steel braid wires on a subset of 6F Sherpa catheters.
Medtronic Vascular is recalling certain SHERPA NX Active Guiding Catheters (6F, AL3.0 110CM.070", REF SA6AL30A) because a subset may have stainless steel wires exposed, which could cause serious complications during procedures.
The catheter may have a defect where the primary segment material wears away, exposing the underlying stainless steel braid wires. This could lead to complications like kinking or blockages during procedures.
Cardiovascular professionals using the specific catheter model are likely affected. Those with the reference code SA6AL30A are at risk.
Check for the reference code SA6AL30A on the catheter. The product is used in cardiovascular procedures and has a specific size (6F, AL3.0 110CM.070").
